South Carolina, also known as The Palmetto State, is one of the most charming southern states and is filled with many pretty small towns, villages, and cities. Charleston and Hilton Head Island may come to mind right away for those who frequent this beautiful state, yet there are so many more picturesque destinations around the state to discover.

Blondie brownies prove blondes really do have more fun. Erin Clarkson / Supplied Blondies get their name from ‘blonde brownies’ which to me, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense because brownies rely so heavily on the chocolate for their flavour. These are more of a cookie bar / slice if we had to really categorise them, but they are delicious either way. They are slightly fudgy and full of flavour from the brown butter.

Browning your butter, toasting your oats and adding malted milk powder makes these cookies extra flavourful. Erin Clarkson I love an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, but I find that sometimes they are a tiny bit lacking in both the flavour and texture department. I got around this by adding milk powder to my brown butter, which makes things extra toasty, and adding in a malted milk powder for depth of flavour. I also toast the oats briefly before adding to the cookie, which adds an amazing texture.
